youve got a pretty solid setup going for yourself there. My only suggestion is to ditch the bottle neck 2.36 greddy for something 2.5 or 3.0 to reduce the backpressure going to your turbo. It will gain you some power, and be less stress for your turbo.Seriously man, that's a realistic number! It is very tempting to piece a kit together off ebay, but the reality is I love my car and I wan't to to be as reliable and problem free as it can be so those type of numbers are what it takes to achieve that goal. I attached a parts list for you to see what I did, 10K miles so far and not one problem. I have my A/C, CC, and PS

with that being said... ill buy it for 250 then sell it for 500... then find a .57 trim? or maybe ill be different and try something like this!! check it out! SUPERCHARGEDseems like a bigger type of turbo. You might have some luck selling it and getting one that would suit your power and driving goals better. From the size and AR it seems like this turbo might spool late
Thanks man, I have an electric cutout that dumps straight out of the down pipe when I want to get crazy. Otherwise on the freeway, the car sounds exactly the same as stock if not a little less noise due to the natural sound suppression from the turbo, and dynomat galore lol.youve got a pretty solid setup going for yourself there.

I saw that sale, and it was that reason why I really wanted to get them, but I opted for a more efficient turbo setup instead. Now I gotta worry about stopping :lol:Thanks man, I have an electric cutout that dumps straight out of the down pipe when I want to get crazy.

Wilwood brakes are awesome, they had a killer sale that ended on January 1st that I think will come back again! $499.00 for Calipers, Rotors, Pads, and SS brake lines! I thought it was pretty tough to beat that. The rotors are 12.19" and are difficult to fit with 16" Rims, it was so close that the balancing weights wouldn't even fit past the caliper.
